Abstract

A multihop, wavelength division multiplex (WDM)-based network, CayleyNet, is proposed for the realization of terabit lightwave networks. CayleyNets are attractive virtual topologies because they support the largest number of nodes of four-neighbor connection in a range of diameters. In general, CayleyNets are bi-directional and there are N = p × k nodes, where p is a prime and k is a factor of p - 1. Our analysis shows that CayleyNet has similar performance in channel efficiency, total and user throughput as the ShuffleNet with N = 4^k × k. However, CayleyNet has the advantages of a more flexible network size and symmetric transmission distance. Compared with the N = 2^k × k ShuffleNet and toroidal mesh, the CayleyNet has a superior performance.
